Based on the markdowns and the number of each of the plants purchased, the amount saved is <u>$9.06</u>

Potted Begonias cost $6.57 when discounted by 27%. Their cost must be:

<em>Discounted cost = Original cost x (1 - Discount)</em>

6.57 = Original x (1 - 27%)

Original = 6.57 / 0.73

Original = $9.00

The savings here are therefore:

= 2 x (9 - 6.57)

= $4.86

The original cost of the Tomato seedlings is:

= 2.60 / ( 1 - 35%)

= $4.00

Savings would be:

= 3 x (4 - 2.60)

= $4.20

Total savings are therefore:

= 4.86 + 4.20

= $9.06

In conclusion, $9.06 was saved.

Which is a factor of the polynomial f(x) = 6x4 – 21x3 – 4x2 + 24x – 35?
QveST [7]
<span>I note that this problem starts out with "Which is a factor of ... "  This implies that you were given several answer choices.  If that's the case, it's unfortunate that you haven't shared them.

I thought I'd try finding roots of this function using synthetic division.  See below:

f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35
Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation.  Thanks.

Possible zeros of this poly are factors of 35:  plus or minus 1, plus or minus 5, plus or minus 7.  Use synthetic division; determine whether or not there is a non-zero remainder in each case.  If none of these work, form rational divisors from 35 and 6 and try them:  5/6, 7/6, 1/6, etc.

Provided that you have copied down the function 
</span>f(x) = 6x^4 – 21x^3 – 4x^2 + 24x – 35  properly, this approach will eventually turn up 1 or 2 zeros of this poly.  Obviously it'd be much easier if you'd check out the possible answers given you with this problem.

By graphing this function, I found that the graph crosses the x-axis at 7/2.  There is another root.

Using synth. div. to check whether or not 7/2 is a root:

         ___________________________
7/2   /   6    -21    -4    24    -35
                   21      0   -14     35           
        ----------- ------------------------------
           6        0     -4    10       0

Because the remainder is zero, 7/2 (or 3.5) is a root of the polynomial.  Thus, (x-3.5), or (x-7/2), is a factor.
